Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If there is a group of women in a place that is exclusively for them, and the time for prayer enters, and they do not hear the adhan, is it permissible for one of them to call the adhan?

Answer:
No, the adhan of the town is sufficient, even if they do not hear it. The adhan of the town is sufficient, even if you do not hear it. A woman does not call the adhan and does not call the iqamah; it is not permissible for her to do so.
